Social sciences address problems that are inherently complex. Problems are usually multivariate; in other words, there are lots of factors to consider, and factors interact in interesting ways. But the school curriculum by and large does not inlude opportunities to explore these complex problems.
For example, students will explore interactive displays on the educational attainment of girls and boys in different ethnic groups, where data can be teased apart further by examining groups which are and are not eligible for free school meals. The aim is to give students a better understanding of the complexity of the phenomena. Interactive data displays can provide insights by simplifying the intellectual processes of understanding the relationships in the data, without simplifying the data itself. This should enable a deeper understanding of the phenomena to be explained, and better theoretical accounts.
